Congenital canaliculops with punctal agenesis: is there a possibility to establish patency?

Nandini Bothra1, Gayatri Krishnamurthy1, Mohammad Javed Ali1.   

Abstract

Canaliculops is a non-inflammatory dilatation of the canaliculus which can be secondary to trauma, punctal agenesis, herpetic infections or chronic drug use. This condition can affect either canaliculi and has shown female preponderance. Treatment described so far has consisted of cyst marsupialization with no literature on the post-operative epiphora in these cases. We describe two cases of canaliculops with punctal agenesis where we have tried to establish lacrimal patency.
